What Our Goddard Village Is Saying

Teachers in the infant room are always willing to talk about my child's development and any concerns I have. I can also tell how much my son is cared about and loved by his teachers just by his reaction when he gets to school.

Excellent teachers, convenient location and hours

Kaitlyn's Mother

Toddler Classroom

My daughter started at Goddard about 3wks ago. She is already showing signs of learning so much. Her vocabulary has doubled. She is learning to socialize and share. She seems much happier. I love this school.

Emily 's Mother

Toddler Classroom

We have noticed such growth in our son. He is learning so much, he’s so smart and expressive. He loves going to school, seeing his friends and his teachers. When we pick him up, he can’t wait to show us all the toys and things he loves. We thank everyone at the Goddard School for being so much more than “daycare” for our 2 year old! It’s obvious that the curriculum, the time, and the effort they put into our children really pays off. Thank you!

Toddler Classroom

We Love Mrs Roe and all of the teachers at Goddard! We recommend this place to everyone we talk to. They have a wonderful curriculum and the kids learn unlike any other place that we have had our children. A well structured establishment. Love the place and it's director and teachers

Penelope & Nicholas's Mother

Pre-K Classroom

My son has been attending since he was 6 months old and we couldn’t be happier! Now he’s in the pre-school class and has learned so much in just two months! At just 3 1/2 he knows all his letters and their sounds and can identify letters in words. The teachers at Goddard are so patient and we know our son is loved by all! Goddard is definitely his second home! We highly recommend to anyone seeking a daycare/early education that highly engages children in both play and learning. Kathryn

The moment you walk in you can see how inviting the school is for kids. It is very clean and modern. Director Rosemary O'Connell is very sweet and knowledgeable. The staff is very welcoming and you can see how much they care for their students. The curriculum is great too. I'm beyond happy with this school for my son.
